Canal Map (Like London Tube Map)

[keble]

I don't understand why the Severn Estuary/Bristol channel is marked as the Aire & Calder?

Isn't it a different Shade of Grey?

Brilliant, I wonder if people try to board every time you try to moor?

It's actually one of mine :-) I rarely if ever post out of focus pictures but as this one was so unique I did. I was really gutted when the slides came back as I had waited ages to get the picture of the tube train coming out of the tunnel (Maida Hill).

So Sorry Tim - Maybe the bottle of wine that made me post Leech not Lewis !! (Cant really blame the spell check I guess !)

 

Top photo still !!! Dad has a great Underground poster that went with the event.

I'm sure we will all look forward to the appearance of vastly better attempts from all the critics of the originator of this great initiative.

I did wonder how long it would take for somebody to pick that point up and criticise the 'critics'. However the thing is if you put something 'out there' on the big old world wide web you should really expect criticism which in the cases above look entirely constructive to me, as well as positive comments.

 

If you don't expect it or take it in the manner which people intend when they offer it you really shouldn't bother.

Is there a France version?

Your point is of course valid - but full marks to the cartographer for a highly original idea which, as a parody of the famous Harry Beck London Underground map, is not without humour.

 

But do we have to change boats at each junction?

"Mind the Crap"

"Please let the boats out of the lock before attempting to enter", and "Please move along the lock chamber" ....

 

Keep right (on escalators, and on some walkways) or Keep left (on other walkways).

I popped in to have a look for this, and was surprised to see it discussed just a few months back.

If anybody did want to continue to work on and improve the map, the editable png file is attached

It deserves to be developed and maintained, it's a great piece of work

I agree. What graphics program was used to create it in the first place?

[Mike Todd]

I doubt whether many would consider Avonmouth to Bridgwater as a river navigation!

[Scholar Gypsy]

On the other hand it might be good to add the Mersey crossing, and the Wash (and the Droitwich).

It was just Paint.net

[MtB]

Is it available to purchase, as a nice A3 printout, say?

[RLWP]

I have an A3 printer, if that helps

I wouldn't want to pirate it. I was wanting to buy a legit copy from the author...!

[tafkam]

Please don't feel the need - I am more than happy for people to use it freely.
